You guys do know there's 2 training sites right??

Microsoft Canada Online Retail Training

This is the same deal, for the the employees of companies that resell MS products as well. You need an employee number to register with this one though. If anyone who is currently an employee and would like to register, please pm me, as I get 200 points for every referall. The link I posted above is for the Canadian site, there are ones available for other nations as well. I have 8600 points myself right now (xp pro is like 1500, and office 2k3 pro is like 2000) but the store is out of stock of everything, I emailed them today, and they said it will be replenished with new prizes in the next week or two.

Plus they have random sweepstakes draws, I'm currently entered to win an Alienware Media Centre Shuttle PC, an Olympus Digital Camera, and an mp3 player or something. My boss at work got like a good $1000 worth of software from this training, and I finished the entire thing in a weekend, just waiting for prizes now :sleep:

Anyway, like I said, PM me if you want to join (Canadian), otherwise, visit HERE to register if your from somewhere outside of Canada (I don't think I can refer non Canadians, but I'm will to try if someone wants to PM me).

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone since microsoft checks your employment before they send you stuff. I've been taking these tests for over a year once I started working at Best Buy. Currently I have 12,100 PC training points, 10,495 Xbox training points, and 25 Mobile training points (I got 2 of the swiss army knives).

I don't think many of us including myself will be receiving anything then. lol.

Oh well, as I said earlier, worth a try, not that I even thought in the first place anything would work.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
